8000IU of Vitamin D3 per day, and 300mg magnesium as amino acid chelate at every meal fixed me.

Now taking less of each, cycling my dosage up and down as required. Sometimes taking neither for up to about a week.

Where do you get those? I was thinking Amazon but I fear those are just placebos. You know, all they sell is fake…

Look for “USP Certified”. NatureMade is a popular brand that tends to have this. Costco brand (Kirkland) also often does - note that Kirkland prices are cheap in Costco but not so much on Amazon (resold or something). If you have a Costco near you, it is a very cost effective way to get fresh food and supplements. It’s silly but it really helped me become healthier, because I stopped being hesitant about the price (I was raised in a not-well-off household... the mental barrier can be pretty strong even though it’s irrational vs wastes of money that are neutral or harm health, while nutrition is very helpful and a pretty good bang for buck)
